uh, when was the last time you checked the email that was given from these companies?
I guess all the internet providers are becoming Judge Dredd. Jury and the executioner. But, what if the FBI shows up to find whole bunch of scratched up DVD's of the videos that I've purchased previously, that I've re-pirated? So, where is the warranty on scratched DVD's again??http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5237cc0fecad043a288ca732required educational courseMon, 16 Sep 2013 23:27:11 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5237cc0fecad043a288ca732
"If the person has completed the required educational course and AT&T suspects the person is still illegally downloading..."
WTF?! Sounds like AT&T is introducing and experiencing with Mao's cultural revolution in America.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5237c8bfeab8ea4f1b8ca732AT&T unlicensed law enforcement? Mon, 16 Sep 2013 23:13:03 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5237c8bfeab8ea4f1b8ca732
Isn't AT&T licensed as a phone, internet service provider company?
Is AT&T illegally impersonating and misrepresenting itself as a licensed, legally authorized law enforcement authority?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5237926aeab8ea58308ca73cTimeMon, 16 Sep 2013 19:21:14 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5237926aeab8ea58308ca73c
Fact is these American ISPs should do it like how its done in Canada. You can stream/download all that you want but as long as its for your personal enjoyment and not for resale there shouldn't be a problem. The current laws in the US seem to be trying to protect dying industries and they seem to be resisting the future of content distribution. These days I think its just better to let people get the movies/music for free and make money of other things such as product placement in the films, and building likeable characters that can act as a "brand" in the real world that will generate money in the likes of appearances, endorsments, concerts etc.
